[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

The white fox walked on the fence on a catwalk, thinking that he was still noble and glamorous.

"Did you cry to your mother like a nursing child?" He lowered his voice with a strong taste of mockery, "Or was your mother caught crying secretly under the quilt?"

Renwang walked on the road and complained: "Why do you always think I will cry? What did I do to give you this illusion?"

"All." The white fox said coldly.

Nioh understands his low pressure, after all, if he thinks in another way, he will collapse, and this white fox is himself from a certain point of view, isn't it?

"The invitation letter for the Dark Martial Arts Conference has been sent home." King Ni said, "I was seen by my mother."

"... puri."

"She got so angry and scolded me." King Ren turned his head sideways, "This is all your fault" written in his eyes, "She said she didn't want to call her mother if she didn't come home The cubs go home to eat and have a good talk."

White Fox: "..."

"I was taken aback, I thought you were my brother or something...don't laugh." Niwang clicked, "Maybe I was too obvious, she scolded me again and said don't complain about you It will grow up like that in the future. Of course, there can be other explanations, such as you are my brother or you are my father. But my father is already very busy at work, so I don’t want to imagine his miserable married life. And say you are the future I'm more believable, isn't it?"

White Fox: "...do you believe what she says?"

"Why not?"

The white fox hid a lot of complaints in his belly, but he actually understood why King Ni behaved like this, and he felt that his "mother" must have done something.It's like the hints he gave to make this kid accept the seeds "obediently".

But is it interesting to tear down your own child's desk?

Well, strictly speaking, he is not his child, after all, he is separated by dozens of worlds but...

Forget it, one reason is enough to explain.

Even if his "mother" sacrificed his cultivation and turned into a human being reincarnated for several years, his soul is still that big monster that has been roaming around for thousands of years.

The power of monsters comes from the soul, and directly acts on the flesh and blood.

The kid next to him has the blood inheritance of his "Mother" human reincarnation, and also has the ancient obsession with the direct descendants of his "Mother" who wants to have power.In this situation, what does his "mother" want to do? Is there any way for this kid to resist?

The white fox completely forgot that the big monster he was talking about basically didn't do anything, he just complained about his child's disobedience.

He still stopped at the first corner outside Renwang's residence.

King Ren turned his head to the side: "Aren't you going home for dinner?"

"No." White Fox said.

He hasn't reached the time when he must meet "Master Mother"-in fact, he has already met, so he doesn't want to meet a second time.Besides, the growth of the kid in front of him is still under his control.

"Since you have received the invitation letter, you know that this competition is a team. I need to find enough teammates for you." White Fox said.

King Ren tilted his head and laughed: "Aren't you afraid to go home?"

"……To shut up."

"It's true that you will be punished for running away from home, but my mother has always been gentle."

White Fox: "...In short, I still have a lot to do. You should also be mentally prepared."

"I……"

"There are still a few months. You should take the final exam well and prepare for the training camp." The white fox flicked his tail.

Nioh remembered the date on the invitation: "Will it not overlap with the national competition?"

"No, this year's national competition will be postponed due to heavy rain. Twice. So you have enough time to participate in the competition." The white fox said and jumped into the shadow of the branches.

Nioh stood there watching for a while, and let out a sigh of regret.

Still can't raise a fox...

To be honest, he was in a daze when he was scolded by his mother two days ago.Not completely surprised, but a sense of relief and relief.Ever since he was a child, his mother has had a weird pampering feeling towards him.Even the elder sister and younger brother occasionally joked that this is the privilege of the eldest son.

It can also be felt that his mother may not be an ordinary person.Whether it's some weird insistence on etiquette, or an aura that is clearly gentle but makes him feel afraid.Especially after he gradually understood spiritual power and used it more deeply, that inexplicable feeling of oppression became more obvious.

and also……

King Ni touched the amulet worn around his neck.

No matter how you look at it, it is exactly the same as the Omori of the Government of Time.

Whether it's the look or the feel.

He is also the one who buys guards for knives, and when he is suspicious and compared, it becomes obvious.

But why is the white fox so afraid of people?

Even if his mother scolded others, she was very gentle.

Or is it really such a serious matter to go back to the past that the white fox dare not face the parents?Or is it a natural estrangement after growing up?

King Ni was full of lawsuits, half out of bad taste and half out of curiosity.He waited in place for a while, knowing that the white fox would really not appear, and then returned home with regret.

Not long after the Kanto contest ended, the "training" that Liu had mentioned at the meeting officially issued an invitation letter to Lihai, and all the main candidates were on the invitation list.

"This shows that this training camp is not only for the competition with the American West Coast youth team, but also for other evaluations." Liu said, "The coaches for the team have been decided, except for the coach Sakaki of Hyotei and the coach Ryugasaki of Aigaku. , and several Japanese U17 training camp coaches will provide guidance.”

"...Japan U17 training camp?! This is—"

"It is a training camp for the national team's reserve team, and it is also a training camp for the selection of the U17 World Cup representative team." Liu explained, "There have been rumors before that the U17 World Cup, which only allows high school students to participate, plans to change the rules to allow junior high school students. There are quotas for the competition, and there are quotas. The notice issued to each school was to allow junior high school students to enter the training camp after high school students, and participate in the same scale of selection and training. But now it seems to say that there are too many junior high school students. First confirm the current level of the junior high school players through the training camp in the Kanto region, and then decide on the training camp places that will be distributed to the junior high school students."

"What, do you look down on us so much?" Kirihara said dissatisfied.

Liu slapped the invitation letter on the whiteboard: "In short, this is a good opportunity, and it is also a springboard to directly enter the professional tennis world. If you want to mobilize, don't I need to talk about it?"

"This is my job, Yanagi." Yukimura answered.

He stood up and walked to the whiteboard: "Then everyone, in this training camp, please also remember that the king Li Haida—"

A silence.

Yukimura: "...Please answer the call."

"Tell us what kind of slogan you have prepared first." Nioh held his chin, "Otherwise there are many ways to say it."

Yukimura took a deep breath: "Sanada, you come first."

"The king stands in the sea—"

"There are no dead ends!"

"There are no dead ends!!"

Although there were some accidents, the slogan was finally shouted.Yukimura thought a little depressingly that these companions usually like to make trouble for themselves, which is really nerve-wracking.He glanced at the invitation letter on the whiteboard again: "Speaking of which, this training camp is after the final exam?"

"The first half of July." Liu nodded.

"That means—"

"Akaya!" Sanada said knowingly, "How's the result of your recent English quiz?!"

"Deputy Minister, I have studied hard!" Kirihara closed his eyes, feeling desperate for a long time.

Nioh's final exam was much easier than expected.

Although he has to go out every night to be a "monster volunteer" with no practical significance (Nioh thinks that the ghost detective trainee must be teasing him), but Nio still retains the habit of reviewing and previewing every day.

His memory and reaction ability have been greatly improved because of his spiritual power, and even reading and doing homework don't need to take as much time as before.

Exams are naturally the same.

On the day the results were announced, he found his name near the top of the grade red list (the top grades in the grade will be announced uniformly, which can be regarded as a commendation and a kind of supervision).

"...Third?" He blinked, "No, why am I still not able to pass Liu Sheng and Liu..."

"It's surprising how much you've improved, isn't it?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind.

Niwang had heard the familiar footsteps a long time ago, so he was not surprised at this time.

He didn't look back, just hooked his lips: "How do you feel about being the number one in the grade again?"

Liu Sheng glanced at Nioh, raised his hand and pushed his glasses: "If your Chinese scores weren't holding you back, No.1 would indeed be you."

Nioh shrugged, thinking that people's logical thinking and IQ can be saved, but writing probably can't?

Or is he still not experienced enough, so he can't write enough touching articles?

"Then I hope that the next math paper will be more difficult." Nioh put his hands together, "By the way, physics and chemistry are also."

Liu Sheng: "..."

Is he going to start previewing the high □□ class so that the grades are really surpassed by Nioh?

No, why should I care so much about Nioh's grades?

But it doesn't matter if you take the next step in tennis. After all, I am still a half-beginner, and even my academic performance is...

"Yagyu~" King Ni turned his head and stretched out a hand in a gesture of shooting, "Accept the challenge."

"... Childish." Liu Sheng said lightly.

It happened to be the end of the last class in the afternoon, so they went to the social office together.Although it may seem awkward occasionally, there is always a little tacit understanding that others feel is subtle when getting along with each other in daily life.Nioh and Yagyu chatted nonchalantly, and heard Marui's complaints when they pushed open the door of the agency office.

"Ahhh, I must have lost my grades because I was taken away by Chiya!"

"Senior, why do you blame me for not doing well in the exam yourself! My grades have risen!"

"That's because we are tutoring you!"

"But senior, you didn't give me a few lessons. It's Yagyu-senpai and Liu-senpai who make up for me more. Are they still the top two in the third grade?"

"...Yagyu and Liu are almost overtaken by Nioh! Doesn't that mean that their grades have also dropped?!"

Nioh: "Puri, Bunta, please avoid people next time you speak ill of me. I heard you."

Marui stopped his voice instantly, and rolled his eyes.

He decided to skip this topic, after all he never understood Nioh's achievements.

"Yagyu." He beckoned, "Come tell me? The remedial lessons for Kirihara really bothered you, right?"

"Speaking of which," Liu Sheng pushed his glasses, "I revisited the homework of the second year of junior high school and laid a solid foundation."

Marui: "..."

Nioh opened his chair and sat down, mocking Marui unceremoniously: "You just admit it, it's because you overplayed yourself that your grades dropped. Don't blame Kirihara for the reason, you are so wronged."

"That's right." Kirihara folded his arms and nodded.

Marui felt like he had been hit tenfold.

Bastard, who the hell takes you to the game hall and pays for you?

Turn your elbows outward!

The start time of the training camp for the Kanto Youth Championship has been marked on the invitation letter, so within a few days after the holiday, the main candidates of Lihai University will be ready to go out at the training venue.

Of course, they did not conduct a new main selection competition, but postponed it until the national competition started.Because the invitation letter is sent to them for this batch of main candidates, the early determination of new main candidates (even if the number of places is unlikely to change) will have a certain impact on the stability of the tennis club.

Li Haida arrived at the training camp neither early nor late.

Out of respect for the "U17 training camp coach", they set off early to avoid giving the coach a bad impression by stepping too far.When they arrived at the venue, they discovered that all the Ice Empress members had also arrived.

"Eh?!" Kirihara's eyes widened, "I thought it was determined based on the results of the Kanto Tournament? What, so it's not just our Lihai Da Neng who attended."

Atobe snorted, and Sanada immediately stepped forward and slammed Kirihara on the head.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..." Kirihara crouched down holding his head.

"Sorry, I'm sorry." Sanada said in a deep voice.

Atobe folded his arms: "Ah yes."

He also felt that Kirihara was right, so he was very upset.

Ice Emperor's achievements...

Although the supervisor said that Ice Empress has a play-off spot to enter the national competition, but they were indeed eliminated in the first round of the Kanto competition!

"It's not just us." He narrowed his eyes slightly, "It is said that all members of Qingxue have also received the invitation."

"Eh? Is it because of the coach?" Kirihara squatted on the ground and raised his eyes.

As soon as Sanada's veins popped, he wanted to punch down again.

"Alright Sanada." Yukimura stopped him.He stepped forward and met Shangjibu's eyes, "It seems that the coaches have already investigated our basic information."

"Ah, the national powerhouse, and the newly promoted dark horse." Atobe twitched a mocking smile, "Just one thing, why don't you call together the players from the Kansai competition and the competitions in several other districts?"

"Well, this is 'Kanto youth training and selection' after all." Yukimura said with a smile.

The eyes they met in the air seemed to explode like crackling lightning, and then Atobe snorted and looked away: "I don't take it lightly, but you, Yukimura, Tachikai-"

"Lihai is big, there are no dead ends!"

Their secret battle was about to start again, and then was interrupted by a lively voice: "This is the training camp, there are so many people, meow~"

Turning their heads, they found that the people who got off the bus that had just arrived were the regular candidates of Qingxue.

It's a little embarrassing now.On this occasion, Seigaku who defeated Ice Emperor, Rikkai who defeated Seigaku, and Ice Empress who had fought against Rikkai twice in the finals of the Kanto Tournament—

"Huh! Everyone is very energetic!" Coach Ryuzaki said with his arms akimbo.

Coach Sakaki, who was wearing a suit and a pink shirt in Daxia, also stood quietly behind him and gestured blankly to the gathered crowd: "Go, line up!"

"……Yes."

Ninzuzu grabbed Atobe's shoulders, and whispered: "It's the first time I've seen the supervisor arrive so early. Isn't he always the style of the finale? It seems that the two so-called U17 coaches are very famous, I don't know what style."

"Please be quiet, sir, do you want the supervisor to write a note? Stand still!"

"Yes, yes." Shinozu shrugged and hooked his lips.

Lihai University, Bingdi and Qingxue, the three schools that all accepted the invitation, lined up first, and then even if people from other schools gathered in twos and threes, they consciously started to line up.

After a while they were standing in the open space in front of the main hall of the entire training camp.

In addition to the schools where all members were invited, other schools that participated in the national competition, such as Yamabuki, Fudo Peak, and Liujiao, also had contestants: Sengoku Kiyojun, Tachibana Kihei, Kamio Akira, Ibu Shinji, Amane Hikaru, Kuroba Harukaze , Saeki Toranojiro, Aoi Kentaro.In addition, there are St. Rudolph's Kanzuki, Fuji Yuta, Kajimoto Takahisa of Kashina Shonan, Hiroshi Wakato and Reiji Kamishiro.

"Yamabuki are you alone?" Saiki turned his head and looked at the very short line beside him, his eyes widened slightly.

Qianshi scratched his face in embarrassment: "Well, what should I say? Actually, Akutsu also received the invitation, but..."

Saeki understood: "So it is."

"Silence." Coach Ryuzaki picked up the microphone and walked up the steps in front of the open space.

She first explained the content and purpose of the training camp, and then introduced herself, Coach Sakaki, and the volunteers who volunteered: the first-year students of Aigaku, Tachibana's younger sister who once glared at Lihai, Yamabuki's Tan Taichi, and——

"Pusan?" King Ren was a little surprised.

Liu, who was standing in front of him, moved his lips quickly: "Jingshi and I have researched it, and I think that even volunteers will be very rewarding. But in the first year, only Pu Shan caught the information thrown out by Jingshi during the training." , and he was the only one who came to us to ask about the training camp.”

Nioh: "...you are fishing law enforcement."

"Who made this year's first-year students all so well-behaved?"

"If this event had been moved forward a year, Chi would definitely..."

"Then we can also operate in secret." Liu said confidently.

Nioh: "..."

When they were whispering, Coach Ryuzaki on the stage had already finished speaking.

She finally paused to quiet down the whispering junior high school students: "Everyone should also know that the training camp is not only the two coaches of me and Sakaki. The coaches of the U17 training camp, Kurobe-san, Saito-san ?”

"Well, is it time for us to play?" A lazy voice sounded.

The two figures, one tall and one short, came out of the open door at the back, completely different from what the teenagers had imagined.

They looked younger than Coach Ryuzaki, or even Coach Sakaki, wearing white coat-like clothes, with a mixture of indifference and politeness.

The boys all opened their eyes wide.

The shorter coach took the microphone from coach Ryugasaki: "Hello, everyone, I am Kurobe, the head coach of this training camp. This is Saito, who is in charge of the psychological and evaluation part. If there is no problem, please Let's go straight to the first training camp."

Teenagers: dumbfounded.

"Check the list first." Kurobe glanced at dozens of teenagers, "Akutsujin from Yamabuki, isn't he here?"

Qian Shi raised his hand in embarrassment: "Well, coach, he has quit the tennis club."

"...I see. I see." Kurobe nodded thoughtfully, "Then, the total number of people in the training camp is 37."

"A little too much." Saito beside him stretched his tone.

He is tall and far away from the microphone, so his voice is a little vague.So the teenagers couldn't hear what he said: "How about doing a knockout first?"

Kurobe moved the microphone away: "Directly? Do you want to..."

"It doesn't matter if you come here first, it's considered an early screening."

"That way, you won't be able to use the same trick a few months later."

"Hahaha, do I only have the same means?"

He raised his eyebrows and took the microphone from Kurobe's hand: "Hey, students. We already have your list here, and theoretically, we should start grouping directly. But, we don't know much about you, either. I don't know what you are good at, and I don't know who you have a better relationship with. For the sake of everyone's physical and mental happiness, why don't you register first? In groups of two, let's sort out the list first."

"Two people? Doubles?"

The boys whispered.

Saito heard it, and nodded with a smile: "Yes. Compared with singles, the tacit understanding of doubles is difficult for us coaches who know nothing about you to dig out. The training camp is only ten days, and it can be obtained in advance. A little information is good for both of you and us.”

What he said sounds reasonable, but——

"Didn't you just say the knockout round?" Coach Ryuzaki asked behind his back.

Kurobe coughed lightly: "Ryuzaki-san, this is our U17 tradition."

Ryuzaki nodded suspiciously, and stopped asking.

And the teenagers below also discussed it.

The two teamed up, and those who had already been doubles partners naturally thought they had taken advantage.

"Haha, in this way, compared to doubles, the odds of winning are higher than singles~" Kikumaru jumped up and hung on Oishi.

Compared to the noise of the team next to them, the people in Lihai were silent for a while, and then formed a circle to look at each other.

"I always feel something is wrong." Yukimura smiled, "But it should be interesting, hey, Sanada?"

"Won't let up!"

"It's been a long time since we played doubles..." After he finished speaking, he suddenly looked to the side and laughed, "However, I remembered something."

"what?"

"Didn't you and Nioh hug each other last time and decide to make up?" he said.

Sanada: "..."

"...That's just a bet, Yukimura." Nioh's premonition grew stronger, "You prepared all the lines."

"But you did mention that you would play doubles with Sanada, right? 'I don't play singles, if you let me play doubles, I can also partner with Sanada.' Did you say that?" Yukimura laughed.

King Ni had no way to refute, so he could only turn around: "Puri, Yagyu, what do you think..."

"I'm also looking forward to it, Nioh-kun." Yagyu pushed his glasses, "I have partnered with Liu once, and I have experience. It would be great if I could fight against you and Sanada-kun."

"Reconsideration." Liu said.

Nioh: "...Sanada, what do you want to say?"

Sanada snorted: "Even if I partner with you, I will not relax!"

But I don't want to partner with you!

Nioh clicked his tongue, and chose to surrender under Yukimura's smiling and expectant expression.
